I think the operative word in your post is "Cheap". If the hunt is really cheap there probably is a reason for that. The area may not be the best for various reasons, the camps are shoody with ill trained crews, PH's may not be experienced in the area or with the game etc. Often times spending a little more money will get you a total experience that is a quantum leap above the bargain basement hunt. "Cheap" does not equal good value for the dollar and that is what you must seek in booking a safari.

A question you might want to ask on these inexpensive hunts might be "Who actually holds the lease on the concession" If there is a problem who do you take it up with? I think for obvious reasons a company that owns, hunts and doesn't share its quota with subcontractors is probably a more solid bet for your safari.
